* Owing to the fact that these figures were compiled with the aid of the 

 schools throughout the state at a time when many of the schools were 

 closed, a number of reports were not available. The following statements, 

 taken from the " Census of the Agricultural Resources of New York." pub- 

 lished by the New York State Food -Commission, show the probable extent 

 of such omissions: 



Regarding the enumeration in 1917, "Probably 5 per cent should be added 

 to all figures as reported to cover omissions and counties that were not 

 included." 



"To cover all omissions and the counties that were not enumerated it is 

 possible that 10 to 13 per cent should 1m- added to the state totals for the 

 191 S census."
